what ur saying is mostly true honour but when the otto makes abus guns in age 2, the have 50% ranged resistance and more attack range and more attack than skirms, so if u use 2nd gae skirm card and have no cuirs to save ur ass u cud be imminently ****ed by abus

There is no ultimate civilization. There are some that specialize in certain things, but none that I would consider 'dominating'

Ottomen are one of the strongest, seeing as they get easy colonial due to free settlers and can easily eliminate players with the 'all purpose' janissary.

ever been rushed by janies and abus guns, at the same time?

abus kills infantry (skirms, muskets ect.)
janies killl calvery
nothing in the coloniel age can defeat this combo

I'm not sure about that:

Early Uhlan raiding will destroy your economy, hence unable to build too much of both

A Spanish player that does the archaic xbow massing will probably be able to defeat the otto rush

Although noobs probably won't, but all experienced players will have the sense to flank your army and kill the abus guns with hussars/uhlans/cossacks


However, it is a very good combo, and all Ottomen players should do it asap.

you can't get ulans in the discovery age, but a good german player might be able to still attack in the second age. and don't forget ottos villiger are free.

it might happen, but abus guns destroy crowbowmen mightly fast...

(though any civ with age2 skirms can have them bump n' run, and then have calvery flank the abus guns. yet it's kinda hard to have calvery and skirms soon enough to defend yourself)

that may be true but
i doubt even experienced ottoman players can keep a steady flow going enough to over run my skirms + cava combo
Trust me i can get out alot more then u think
